I have two columns of text where I'm trying to find out if one of those
columns contains the same text in individual rows as the other column. One of the columns has more entries/rows than the other. I tried the EXACT function and tried using the first column entry as an array down the column and the second column entry as the row that I'm checking it against. Like this =EXACT(A2:A366, B2). This didn't produce the result correctly. Here's a small portion of the columns so you get the idea. Company Name from Unique TCN Company Name from Pivot A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. AB Chalmersinvest AB Chalmersinvest Abraham Trading Company ABN Amro Incorporated Advanced Investment Partners Acadian Asset Management Alliance Capital Management LP Acta Realty Corporation Alliance Capital Management LP AEW Capital Management LP Allstate Insurance Company Afton Capital Management LLC American Century Invest. Mgmt. AGF Management Ltd. AMICA Mutual Insurance Co. AIG Global Investment Corp Analytic Investors, Inc. Aim Advisors, Inc. Andor Capital Management LLC Alberta Finance Applied Finance Group Alexandra Investment Management Ltd Archer Capital Management Alson Capital Partners As you can see not all of them match but some may in the second colum. The second column is the longer one. How do I find out which names in the second column are the same as the ones in the first without manual proofreading? Thanks in advance, Paul |
